Pre-debut

Taewoong was an idol trainee for seven years before he finally debuted at the age of 21. During that time he gained a lot of experience in several areas to emerge as a multi-talented idol, singing and rapping for Snuper in addition to his role as leader, not to mention his acting career. Usually the role of leader goes to the oldest member of an idol group, but when a younger member has the title of leader it's for good reason.

As a child actor, Taewoong starred in several dramas prior to debut starting at the age of ten in KBS2's 2004 drama "Forgiveness" as Sejin. By the time of his debut with Snuper, he had already starred in a dozen dramas and two movies. His most recent drama was tvN's 2013 drama "Fantastic Tower" as Sun Ho, where he acted alongside BtoB’s Minhyuk.
